Description

This textbook provides an authoritative introduction to both classical and coalescent approaches to population genetics. Written for graduate students and advanced undergraduates by one of the world's leading authorities in the field, the book focuses on the theoretical background of population genetics, while emphasizing the close interplay betwee

Reviews

"This very well-written book is challenging, but rewarding. Motivated readers will understand the dynamic nature of genetic variation in populations."--Richard M. Kijman, Quarterly Review of Biology "I applaud the primary goal of this book, that is, to present basic genetic and population genetic concepts to future researchers in genomics and bioinformatics. I think that understanding the core evolutionary framework is essential for successful analysis and interpretation of contemporary genetic data."--Phil Hedrick, Journal of Heredity
